2013 Week 9 NFL Power Rankings

Last week: 31 (+0)

Record: 0-7

It’s becoming very clear that Greg Schiano will not be the Head Coach of the Buccaneers in 2014, though they may opt to keep him until the end of the season, rather than firing him mid-season. It’ll be interesting to see who the Buccaneers can get to replace him considering how many people turned down the job last time it was open, reportedly because they didn’t want to have to work for the Glazers. The Buccaneers have scraped the bottom of the barrel for Head Coaches in their last 2 attempts, first with Raheem Morris and then with Schiano and their next attempt might not be better if history is any indication. It makes you wonder why they ever let Jon Gruden go, assuming that was their decision and not his.

I still contend that the Jaguars will probably win a game at some point this season, but it’s arguable they’ve had the worst 8 game start to a season ever. They are the first team since the 1984 Oilers to lose the first 8 games of the season by 10 or more. The Oilers did it 10 times and eventually finished 3-13 (proving, once again, it’s very, very hard to go 0-16). In terms of DVOA, only the 2005 49ers were worse in the first 8 games of the season since Football Outsiders started keeping the stat in 1991. They’ve gotten outscored by an average of 22.25 points per game on the season, scoring 10.75 points per game and allowing 33.00 points per game, both of which are worst in the NFL. They also have more losses (8) than offensive touchdowns (7).
